The Bivalve Once More.

Once more the season has arrived
when the press of the country calls the
attention of the general public to oys-
ters, just as if there was an actual
necessity for doing so.
The humorlst refers to the oysters

Yes, Septoysters-we mean Septem-
ber-Is here again on time. and the
oyster once more resumes his connec-
ton with the restaurant.
To tell the truth, the oyster has new
err entirely severed his connection with
the entire public, for there are lots of
ignorant people, who. probably not
knowing how to spell tie names of the
months. have kept right on eating oys-
tiers in May, June, July and August,
just as if there were two or three RS in
them.
We hardly know what to say about
the oyster. He has developed no new
traits since we parted with him in the
latter part of April. There has been no
change at least in the doubtful oyster.

royal parsonage compared with the
doubtful oyster.
The oyster that is not doubtful has
always been a favorite with the press.
Our steamed contemporary" Puck
there is that aged pun again-says
trutllfulIy that while the oyster is not
talkative it is pheasant companion at
dinner.
There is. however. one kind OF
oyster that Is not 3 pleasant companion.
We refer to the 'frolicsome oyster, /
who paints the midnight Sownfed and is
always in season. a religious paper
says that the oyster should be opened

How does the silver find its way
Into the daisies petals, pray!
That in each nodding, shim'ring face
A fairy's features Il may trace!
IT'S but the mocnbeam's beauty shed,
Like gossamer each silken thread;
When day opes wide his yellow gates
Upon all fow'rs the moonlight waits,
How finds the buttercup her gold?
The bee his secret never told!
How in her heart does s~he-euchain
The wealth Of sunsets golden fame?
